the greenbrier resort

If you've read the newest issue of Matchbook Magazine, then you've already seen (and swooned over) these photos of the Greenbriar Resort. I've been dying to visit the West Virginia locale for years and, after viewing this editorial, am on a mission to make it happen. I mean, it was decorated by Dorothy Draper, for pete's sake! If color makes you happy, as it does me, than the Greenbrier is your mecca :) Have any of you had the pleasure of paying this piece of American design history a visit? I'd love to hear what you have to say!

the vanity project

One of the features I miss most from “House & Garden” is the magazine’s “Vanity” market piece. Though a “Vanity” page didn’t appear in every issue, when it did it was beyond! A scanned in a few of my favorite vanities from my magazine archives. They’re all wonderful, but I just die for the first vanity - the scene was inspired by decorating doyenne Dorothy Draper. Which do you prefer?
